  1. ARB Sliders: Anyone installed

    The ARB sliders and the ford sliders are on opposite sides of the coin. The ARBs are meant to take a heavy beating, but you pay a penalty in pounds, cost, mounting, and ease of getting in and out of the vehicle. The stock Ford sliders are light duty in terms of coverage, and wont serve as a...

    Colorado Bronco Club

    Ill be there, there will be a club tent near signup. There parking lot is massive and full of hundreds of broncos.
  3. Tree sap on MIC hard top - how to remove?

    I had this issue, I used 303 Convertible Fabric Top Cleaning solution. Took a few rounds alternating between a brush and microfiber cloth to scrub came out. Letting the solution soak as the instructions said helped.
  4. ARB Twin Compressor Suitcase

    Been running the suitcase for over a year, only use I find for the tank is letting it get up to max PSI and using the blow gun feature to blow out dust in the cab. Very reliable and fast compressor though...
  5. Next Venture, Rock Slide, LOD, or RCI Rock Sliders

    In the sense of functionality, I think NVM is the clear winner. When you factor in aesthetics and cost I think that is where you need to evaluate what is most important in the other options.
  6. Leather Peeling

    Looks like abrasion to me too. Could have been you, could have been a tech. Shoe polish can help hide it, or get covers... Leather is going to patina anyway, yours just got an early start.
  7. Raptor Tailgate Hinges installed with Hammerbilt Bracket

    These are my assumptions, Stock Sas tire and carrier 87.5 lbs Dry weight of rigging + maxtrax mini + Rotopax (39) max wet weight 1.8 gallons on a 2 gal pack + rigging +maxtrax (54) Total weight of 141.5 with max wet, 8.5 lbs (6%) over the load limit of 133. I have to drink about a gallon of...
  8. Raptor Tailgate Hinges installed with Hammerbilt Bracket

    4Maxtrax mini and a rotopax. Came out to right under the 135 lbs max load, so I thought I was safe. I theorize opening it at that angle or metal fatigue did it in after a little over a year or so of running that setup.
  9. Raptor Tailgate Hinges installed with Hammerbilt Bracket

    I have another wrinkle to ponder, lets assume you park at an incline, or off camber and open the tailgate. How would the load be applied? (Assuming you don't just let it swing open with and get momentum involved) I had my had my tailgate fail at a United by Bronco event while opening it at an...
  10. Another Bronco w/ Broken Tie Rod stranded and recovered

    Suppose I should just let DV8 tell the story, it's theirs to tell anyway.
  11. Another Bronco w/ Broken Tie Rod stranded and recovered

    Ran the trail with those guys, they said it in the video, the axel housing split. Nothing to do with the tie rods. Matt was there in a hurry, they were headed up the trail before we even got back to the trailhead!
  12. Moab: Recommend me a UTV rental

    I second highpoint Hummer, specially their Can Am Maverick X3 RS machines. Cheaper fees, free trailer, and top end (rental) machine. The XP1000 and Can Am Maverick X3 DS models that vendors rent in town are not even on the same planet with almost half the HP of the above.
  13. Crash bar delete covers now available from ELev8 Off Road

    These have been on the market a while... https://dv8offroad.com/products/bronco-crash-bar-caps
  14. Skid Plates.....Show me what you got!

    If you want to retain as much as the existing OEM skids as you can, look into the LOD trans skid to cover those crossbars. I have had them for 6 months or so and they have held up. https://lodoffroad.com/products/2021-bronco-black-ops-transmission-skid-plate If you want to replace the...
  15. Crash bar delete covers now available from ELev8 Off Road

    Makes a cover and puts holes in it to advertise. Lazer etch or sticker if you must so the original intent of the product can be fulfilled. Color me disappointed.
  16. Needless Wear & Tear Protection for the Interior

    The seat belts connectors are meant to retract and sit in the belt flap. Sometimes they don't fully retract into that pocket and the metal on the back of the clip rubs against the plastic causing that wear. Add the soft side of Velcro to the back of the seatbelt clip across the metal portion...
  17. Aftermarket bumpers cheesy on Bronco Raptor?

    I agree with everything saying do what you like while you own it. However when it comes to resale, everyone wants it stock or with the highest end aftermarket parts available. The reason being they could sell the used high end parts to buy OEM if they wanted. Either keep the OEM parts and...
  18. Frame Mounted Step Sliders - Now shipping from Metal-tech 4x4

    IMO the U bolt design is defiantly not the way to go. Loosing 1-2 inches of clearance along the frame in multiple spots. Strong yes but also prone to catching and getting damaged. However I do understand it is cheaper to manufacture due to increased tolerance allowance, but wait its 1,500...
  19. Raptor Too Wide for East Coast?

    Fantastic productive conversation, good to see two sides of the same coin. Sweet pictures! Interesting to see that part of world! To my eyes that's a jungle, I could understand how the state would have a hard time maintaining it...
  20. Raptor Too Wide for East Coast?

    The widths I posted are with the mirrors folded out. https://www.ford.com/suvs/bronco/models/bronco-badlands/. I think what is scaring away most folks is trail rash, not a situation where 2 unmovable objects are too close together where they have to turn around. Pinstriping and rubbing branches...
